The late Mr.. Benjamin. at one time Secretary
Of War Of The Confederate States, in most In.

ton Of the desiitutlon OF the COnfederacy In the
beginning OF 1899.
Mr.. Benjamin was Secretary Of War at the
umo OF the loss % Roanoke Island.
The report of tie onlcer In command OF that
pest showed that lis loss was due In great
measure to the supposed persistent disregard
by he Secretary OF his urgent acquisitions for
powder and other supplies.
SIR. Benjamin had directed General Hnger 10
send powder from Norfolk 20 the garrison at
Roanoke island. ana had been informed by
Hugor that compliance with that order would
leave Norfolk without ammunition. The ro-

GRAND SENTIMENT FROM LEE.
After the surrender at Appomattox AMI th'
cessation Of hOstiiitios, there was moro or loss

reconcile themselves 10 submission % tho Cow

whether they should stand al01f and let things
take their course, or whether they should, with
good will and cheorfulnoss, perform the new
duties that devOived upon them. Tho advice
and example OF General Lee did more 10 IN
cline the scale in favor Of frank aud manly
adoption Of that course OF conduct which tended
10 the restoration Of peace and harmony than

districts

Hon. Barnes Compton Talk

Congressman Compton was in Washington
on Monday looking after the interests Of his
constituents in the departments. While at the
Treasury Department Mr.. Compton chatted
freely about the political siiuatioa 10 Maryland.
he says the democratic party is not ashamed
of the record it has made 10 that State, nor is
it prepared TO admit that under the administra-
State have teen pundered and abused, ~ has
been alleged. The 6ns Rcisl Affairs of the State
aud city of Baltimore are admirably managed,
AID, not~ it standing the reckless statements of
the slanderers of Baltimore city, no boodlers
have been discovered in the municipal or State
ffieers Mr.. Compton says tie people OF Mary
land have become SO accustomed 10 hear the
republicans aud their assailants howl about
ring and bosses that those words have no
further terror for them. Under the present
state Of affairs any one who is opposed to turn
ing the State over 70 republican control is re
gsrded as a ringster or a boss. Every political
party is obliged to have its managers and upon
them develves the responsibility of conducting
the campaign. Sensible people are no longer
frightened by the cry Of ''bosses" and "rings. "
Mr.. Compton says the democratic party viii
not he seriously affected by the attacks of th'
republican press, nor will any honest party
man walk up to the pols-ssd vote tsr the re
publican candidates in preference 10 the regula
ticket, which is composed Of some of the pures
